Faulty or badly maintained gas appliances can lead to serious risk to health and life. Including risks of fires and carbon monoxide escape.

Failing to have an up to date gas safety certificate, can put you at risk of prosecution up to £20,000 per property. And it also provides you with a legal document as proof you a fulfilled your responsibility as the landlord of the property.

You can arrange for a gas safety check to be carried out any time from 10-12 months after the last completed check, without affecting the original expected expiry date. If it’s less than 10 months or more than 12 months after the last check.
Whats involved in a landlord gas safety inspection??
The gas engineer will need to make sure that all gas pipework, appliances, chimneys and flues are kept in safe condition. Check the gas appliances’ manufacturer guidelines to find out how often a service is recommended. If you haven’t got access to these, we’d recommend an annual service. We carry out a tightness test to make sure there’s no gas leaks.
